Smithfield, Aug. 24—Interesting figures just available established beyond doubt that there is no such thing as race suicide in Johnston Count. For the past 18 months there were 2,545 births in this county and 833 deaths, leaving a net increase of 1,715 in the population. Statistics show that for the first months of 1920, there were 862 births and 282 deaths; for the last six months of that year 886 births and 278 deaths; for the first six months of 1921 there have been 800 births and 273 deaths.
